Karen Hammerman's Online Review Report Card

I am writing this review because I cannot understand the negative reviews and feel that they must be in error or vindictive. I just left the office after seeing Dr Hammerman. She was warm, knowledgeable and professional. I felt completely confident in her assessment. Her staff couldn’t have been more friendly and the office was nice and extremely clean . Honestly I’m bewildered at the reviews. I am a hard sell with doctors having worked in the medical industry in the past. They are not all created equal. Dr Hammerman stood out and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Extremely inattentive with no clear direction or guidelines. Vague answers to questions related to care after a facial.

She is very bad. I would never go to her again.

I should have listened to the previous reviews. Well I had and appointment with Dr hammerman everything seemed fine just waiting for lab results until I get a strange phone call about a week later saying no more treatment is needed puzzled because I haven’t gotten any results back yet from the test they said are required to treat me. I contact Dr hammermans office to question why this is only to get a response that she is not in until Tuesday (March 30th.) so I wait for a call or email and receive zero communication that day till I contact them and ask what is going on. The worker responds oh I meant next Tuesday meaning that she wouldn’t be in the office for two weeks. Frustrated I ask what the hell is going on and what should I do now that it’s been 3 weeks since I went to go for lab testing and still zero results and zero communication from Dr hammerman. The workers response was “oh the doctor seems fine putting you on this certain medication without the lab results.” Definitely never again dealing with this office. I would highly recommend not using Dr.Hammerman just my personal opinion.

Dr Karen Hammerman was highly recommended by a friend so I made a consultation appt with her. My experience was not the best, she was very quick, not very thoughtful or concerned with solving the issue. She told me to go see an esthetician because she doesn’t perform miracles. I don’t know if she was having a bad day or aunt flow was visiting but she was not nice. All I wanted was for her to help me get rid of 3 small oily pimples on one side of my cheek. THAT NEEDS A MIRACLE? 🤷‍♀️ I already got the professional help I needed by another dermatologist.

I scheduled my appointment twice on zocdoc with dr karen hamerman and both time i was told someone else will see me and not dr karen. I find this very unprofessional and misleading. If she is not the one taking me as a patient then you must put the name of the available doctor or PA

Please do yourself a service and visit any other dermatologist . There are so many qualified and caring ones available. I visited Dr. Zimmerman twice to remove some skin growths .She refused both times .She would only do a useless spray on them that did absolutely nothing. I have excellent insurance .I then received letters from my insurance that she had billed them for surgeries for both visits and they paid her quite a bit of money for a two minute visit and spray. Do yourself a favor and go to another doctor.
